People and Environment - Critique on Stone Soup

People in ancient times could only eat raw meat by hunting, drink underground water, wear clothing made of animal fur, live in dangerous and cold caves, and walk if they wanted to go anywhere. Now, people can taste all kinds of delicious food, drink refined water, wear cotton or silk clothes, live in comfortable houses or big apartments, drive high-quality cars, fly in planes, and travel in trains. Comparing the vicissitudes in people's lifestyles, Some people think that the environment makes people, while on the other hand, others consider that the two things rely on each other. But I consider that people make environments.


First, people make the environment because they want to have a better life. To have a better life, people tried to tame the animals to eat fresh, plenty of meat for the whole year. People used all kinds of ways to refine the water to have safe water to drink. People raised silkworms and planted cotton to wear comfortable and warm clothes. People used reinforced concrete to build big houses to provide a satisfying life space. People invent cars, planes, trains, spaceships, hyperloops to travel or explore the world, etc. People make environments more convenient and enjoyable. These things are evidence that people make environments. 


Second, people make the environment because they want to have longer lifespans. To have longer lifespans, people tried to eat fully cooked food instead of raw meat. To have longer lifespans, people tried afforestation to conserve soil and water and prevent the mud-rock flow. To have longer lifespans, people tried to use cleaner energy to reduce carbon emissions. To have longer lifespans, people tried to use biology and science to control the kinds of epidemic diseases such as smallpox, bubonic plague, and malaria. People make environments more healthy and harmonious. These activities are evidence that people make environments. 


Last but not least, people make the environment because they want to have a greener future. To have a greener future, people tried to find kinds of ways to preservation of the environment. For example, People build many varieties of viaducts in the city to reduce the waiting time the vertical to reduce carbon emissions. To have a greener future, People use organic fertilizers instead of pesticides and fertilizers to improve the plant taste and nutritive value and reduce the damage to the soil. People make environments greener and more sustainable. These activities are evidence that people make environments. 


In conclusion, people make environments for a better life, longer lifespans, and a greener future. People make the environment reflect the civilization's progress. I believe that people make environments prove human is the smartest on Earth. No matter how the environment changes, people can always learn to conquer the environment. So,  I consider that people make environments.
